The first a third is devoted to the words "GRAFFITI ART" in a variety of stylized fonts. In the center of the note is the Cook Islands coat of arms, and around the edges are the inscriptions "COOK ISLANDS" (the note's issuing country), "QUEEN ELIZABETH II" with her portrait, "20 DOLLARS," and "2023." Known as "the best known, most visited, most written about, the most sung about, the most parodied work of art in the world," the Mona Lisa is a half-length portrait of Lisa Gherardini by the Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci. Many different aspects of the work have contributed to its enduring allure and study, including the mysterious expression of the subject, the monumentality of the composition, the subtle modeling of forms, and the atmospheric illusionism. Graffiti is a form of street art that was once frequently displayed without permission on public walls. Modern styles of graffiti, which first appeared on walls, subway cars, and bridges in the 1980s and '90s, were heavily influenced by hip hop. High-end graffiti with a decorative focus emerged in the 1980s. The use of canvas in contemporary art has also increased dramatically. Art in the graffiti style is well-known and widely accepted in museums and galleries around the world. In addition to its stunning packaging, it also features a numbered Certificate of Authenticity and a worldwide mintage of only 499 pieces.
